does anyone know if you can deep fry with coconut flour?

Question

i want to use only coconut flour and no other flour. do i dip the item in egg and then the flour? do i mix the flour and egg and make a batter then dip the item?

Answer 1

Generally, a frying technique that uses egg is a three-part process:
1. Dip the food in flour. This adds a layer of material for the egg to adhere to
2. Dip the floured material in egg (egg with a little water added)
3. Dip the wet material in another dry medium (could be flour or corn flakes or breadcrumbs...)

This creates a substantial "batter" for your fried goods. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Depending on how you want the final product to look you can use either method. If you dip the product you are cooking in eggwash then flour you will get a crisp finish with little flour buildup and the product will also crisp up a bit.. If you make a batter it will be crisp but thicker and the batter will brown but not the product you are deep frying.
